Boston Bruins Sign Dalton Bancroft

I had read he had multiple suitors. Glad they were able to get this done. Wonder what his ceiling is

 

[Bruin4]

One year I like it!
Gives him motivation to prove he belongs,

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Remember his father being a defenseman and a first-round flop for the Leafs. Adam Foote was the next pick in that draft.

A big right winger. B's could use one of those.

At his age that was all they could give him.

In terms of his prospect status they like him enough to give him an NHL contract for next year, to me that alone puts him above all the players who had to settle for AHL contracts

 

[Sheppy]

Hey, he's Canadian!

 

[Bruin4]

 

[LJReborn]

Never a bad thing to get free prospects

 

[DominicT]

Good job by Harkins here

 

[Over the volcano]

Wonder what kind of role Ryan Walsh had in his decision.

 

[RoccoF14]

Really good move...

 

[Sheppy]

Kid looks like a hockey player, that's for sure. Kind of has that "punch me face" which is always welcome.

This guy is going to draw a penalty or two, hahaha.

 

[PB37]

Older prospect but he did well for himself the last couple of years in college.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Classic Divver.

 

[Dr Hook]

I hope he turns into a good player for us. You always want a Krug, Vatrano, Kevan Miller level of play from these guys, but more often you seem to get Eduard Tralmaks.

 

[McGarnagle]

That'll put some butts in the seats

I think Kevan might be the only non-20/21 year old UDFA worth a shit for the Bruins. Probably one of the few for most other teams the past 20 years.

He took an interesting path to get to the B's, played in the Tier 2 OJHL here in Ontario for many years, then went to US College.
Was MVP of the OJHL league, which is a step down from the OHL.
He is 24 YO, should fit in well in Providence.
Has some size at 6'3 210.

Glad they signed but only to a one year deal? I am getting Barry Richter vibes. I thought he was a defenseman. Why is he listed as a forward?

Classic Divver.

We have another Johnny Beecher?????

 

[McBrom7]

I'll admit I know nothing about the kid.

Is this anything to get excited about or just another Jackson Nelson?

They've been pursuing me relentlessly for more than 1 year now....

Them and Beltone.....
